Fowler: The A-League isn't as bad as people think

The Liverpool legend believes the Australian competition deserves more credit than what it gets

After being appointed as Brisbane Roar coach on Tuesday, Robbie Fowler has defended the quality of the A-League.

The former Liverpool striker will get his first real taste of management next season with the Roar and returns to a competition he graced for two years as a player.

With some questioning Fowler's decision to begin his coaching career in Australia, the man himself believes the standard of the A-League deserves more credit and will pose a fitting first test of his management credentials.
